Cat Chaser
Well, it finally happened to me! Blogger ate my post.
And it was at least deserving of a Pulitzer!
I whined about my rough first day back after a long weekend and everything! I cannot recreate the pathos. It was a perfect whine for a nice, full-bodied cheese and cracker (make mine Carr's) accompaniment.
Actually, I did my first seriously physical work in a long time today (5 hours of sorting canned goods, lifting and bending), made the mistake of sitting at my desk for a couple of hours afterwards. Then, I couldn't move!
Heat and ibuprofen later and I am almost human! I am getting too old for this! (Or I need to do it more often.)
But the big story is that I am still creating masterpieces with donated squares and blocks. I will admit that I was very nearly stumped by the ones I tackled yesterday. Big and pretty, but only three in number. And none of the other blocks that I tried seemed to click.
So I got out that gawdawful pinque Bernat Breeze and created rectangles of thick stockinette stitch that I pieced together with these three great blocks:
I'm picking up a garter stitch border to control the curl. I think about 3" on each side should do it.
It wil make some tiny person on Cheyenne River a nice warm blankie.
